Yet Another Storm

As we returned from town today another storm rolled in, blackening the sky and slicing the clouds with lightening. Rain came down in torrents as we were driving. This would be the third storm today, and many this week. It doesn't look good for farmers, gardeners and vacationers. A teacher friend I work with moved here to grow pumpkins. They lost three crops in three years. This was to be the fourth and final attempt to grow pumpkins in Brookfield. I'm sure the little pumpkin plants are drowned now. The weather is acting like winter, with the storms rolling in regularly. Bad timing.
